noun - uncountable

Sexual relationship between an Indo-Aryan female and a North American Black male (African-American or Afro-Caribbean).

Derived from the far more controversial term 'Malabar Masala', and based on the Lower Mississippi Valley symbolising North American Black people.

Mira Nair's film 'Mississippi Masala' (1991) starring Sarita Choudhury and Denzel Washington popularised the term, but did NOT originate it. Mississippi Masala is also the theme of Gurinder Chadha's 'Bhaji on the Beach' (1993), of Milan Luthria's 'Hattrick' (2007), and of the TV series ER (2003-9) starring Parminder Nagra and Mekhi Phifer.

Based on the Indian scandal which erupted when Menaka Gandhi's magazine Surya (Aug-Nov 1978) published photos depicting Suresh Ram, the married son of Dalit Defence Minister Jagjivan Ram, having extra-marital sex with a beautiful Delhi University student named Sushma Chaudhary. Subsequent usage of her name alludes the fact that the photos were reportedly arranged by Sushma herself.
